Mobile Myanmar: The Impact of Social Media on Young People Living in Conflict-Affected Regions of Myanmar Issue 4: Lack of online resources to support the mental health and education of young people in Myanmar The internet has become an important source of information and social support regarding mental health for young people (Rickwood et al., 2015). However, there is currently very little credible mental health information online suitable for young people in Myanmar. Seeking and sharing health information was one of the most common social media behaviours reported by young people in Myanmar, suggesting that there would also likely be a significant appetite for suitable online mental health resources tailored to them, were they available. Online mental health support interventions run by accredited mental health professionals have been shown to be effective in OCED countries (Ridout & Campbell, 2018; Campbell et al., 2018). However, the mental health sector in Myanmar currently lacks a lead service body and regulatory body to ensure quality of evidence-based practice delivery. Suggested first steps therefore focus on providing online information and triage support for young people in Myanmar who require emotional support, while more research into the suitability of both online and offline interventions for young people in Myanmar is conducted. Another common use of social media reported was to connect with and undertake self-led e-learning. Many young people reported using social media (YouTube in particular) to develop English skills, computer skills and vocational skills, as well as participate in formal online distance education programs. However, it is apparent that there are few online opportunities for young people who do not already have strong English skills. Rohingya young people would particularly benefit from distance education given the restrictions on their freedom of movement. Recommendations  Academic researchers to develop and trial online support services for emotional and mental health issues among Myanmar youth as a matter of priority. For example, investigate the suitability and efficacy of the app ‘Mee Pya Tike’ for providing emotional support via online chat sessions.  In the absence of widely available psychological services in Myanmar, Save the Children to advocate for the Ministry of Health to partner with Save the Children and other actors to provide online psychosocial ‘fact sheets’ in multiple languages to educate young people (and adults) about positive coping mechanisms to deal with stress and other emotional issues.  A recent review of mental health interventions in Myanmar (Nguyen, Lee, Schojan & Bolton, 2018) found that there have been very few evaluations of programmes to reduce child mental distress. Academic researchers to conduct more studies into the suitability and efficacy of affordable and scalable online and offline interventions to address youth mental health in Myanmar.  Given the thirst young people in Myanmar have for online educational material to increase their English skills, computer skills, vocational skills and general level of education, there is a need to increase and develop e-learning opportunities. Government and NGOs should partner to develop opportunities tailored to Myanmar young people and ensure they are available in both Myanmar language as well as in local languages. Encouraging telecommunications providers to make online education platforms free to access (i.e., not require data costs) could maximise their accessibility. Internally displaced Muslim young people are particularly in need of distance education opportunities due to their displacement and lack of freedom of movement. 105
